GLA Units

GLA Units

Note: You can find statistics for each of these units at CNCSeries.com.

[Hero] Jarmen Kell
This mercenary is an outstanding sniper with stealth capabilities. Working alone, he can occupy structures without detection from the enemy. Using a scope, he can pluck drivers inside vehicles. When an enemy driver is dropped, the vehicle can be taken over by GLA infantry.

Bomb Truck
The Bomb Truck is certainly one of the most devastating vehicles in the game for sheer destruction power assuming you can get it close enough to its target to blow it up. This unit also has the ability to disguise itself to look like any other vehicle in the game.

Angry Mob
This group of about 20 angry civilians is actually considered as one single unit. These demonstrators band together, throw rocks, and shoot small arms at nearby enemy forces. The Angry Mob gradually heals itself, and it can be ordered to form up with other groups to form an even larger Mob that can inflict and sustain more damage. The Angry Mob isn't very effective at long range -- any long-range antipersonnel weapon can make quick work of this group -- but it can be devastating at close distances. With a generous helping of Molotov cocktails and firebombs, the Mob is also quite effective against buildings. The mob can't board transports as a group or as individuals, though you will be able to upgrade the mob with AK-47s for added deadliness.

Quad Cannon
Quad Cannons consist of an old-style anti-aircraft gun mounted on the back of a sturdy truck. Modified so that they can attack both ground and air targets, their rate of fire is quite a force to be reckoned with by lighter units; heavy units should have no problem.

Radar Van
The Radar Van is a mobile detection unit that must be built in order for you to have a look around the map. The great thing about this unit is that it doesn't need power, so once you have it built, you're up and running.

Rebel
Rebels are the basic infantry unit of the GLA forces. They are armed with AK-47's and not very good at 1-on-1 combat situations with any unit, best used in groups.

Rocket Buggy
The Rocket Buggy is a fast and mobile unit that can rip tanks a new one. Quick, agile, and deadly are the traits that best fit these units. The rockets have a decent range against enemy units but commanders of these will find that they cannot engage targets at close range. Escort these Buggies with Technicals or other units that can engage is close quarters combat.

RPG Trooper
Similar to infantry of the same type in previous C&C games, the RPG Troopers boasts a powerful weapon that tears through both ground and air armor.

Scorpion Tank
The Scorpion Tank is the basic battle tank of the GLA forces. First seen in the battle of Baghdad, these medium armored tanks can provide a powerful punch in large numbers with their single barreled turrets.

Technical
The Technicals are nothing more than some kind of weapon mated to an everyday pickup truck, jeep, or car. These units demonstrate the GLA's ability to scavenge enemy parts -- if it approaches a destroyed tank, it can pick up that tank's turret, for example, for added firepower. Through scavenging, Technicals can upgrade their .50-cal weapon to a 20mm recoilless rifle, and once again to a rapid-fire RPG system. In addition to those upgrades, Technicals can also improve their effectiveness by attaining veteran status.

Terrorist
What terrorist organization would be complete without the actual terrorists? These guys are tightly packed with enough explosives to destroy any buildings or heavy tanks. Of course, they're also a one shot deal, so you'll need to use them wisely and make sure you take care to watch your money.

Toxin Tractor
Simple in design, basically a John Deere with a chemical sprayer on it. Toxin Tractors can turn people from flesh to goo in about .5 seconds. Tractors can contaminate in two ways: by spraying toxins directly at a target, or by having the hose spray in a circular pattern around the tractor itself creating a land barrier so to speak.

Worker
Workers are the basic building block of any GLA base. They carry the materials to construct all buildings and repair when necessary.
